AuthorTopic: Vauxhall Victor (Read 863 times)

I bought a FB Victor [a 1964 car iirc]in 1982 I paid £3 for it as it had a blown head gasket-a new gasket was included in the price Fixed that and sold it 2 weeks later for £40,I think it's about the only car I've ever sold on for a profit One of my older brothers had a FD-exactly like the one in Randall and Hopkirk.Didn't the Carlton replace the Victor in the Vx line up?

I had all the series...FB, FC, FD, and finally FE Victors. All were great in every way for me. Column change was a bit iffy until you got used to it. The FE (bright yellow) sported a splendid vinyl roof, until the monkeys at Windsor Safari Park decided they wanted it !!!!!!!!

What I always called my first real car was a FB estate. Bought it from the sales depatment where i worked on the tool club scheme, £7 a week for 10 weeksFD was known as the "Coke" bottle style, first UK car with bonded front and rear windscreensAlways wanted a FE VX 4/90Banger raced a 2 litre FD estate and a 2.3 FE
